President Novák: Hungary ready to take part in any peace initiative for a lasting ceasefire in Ukraine
Change language:
Hungary supports and is open to take part in any peace initiative that creates a feasible environment for a lasting ceasefire in Ukraine and creates a roadmap towards a sustainable and just peace, President Katalin Novák said in her address to the United Nations’ Security Council in New York on Wednesday.
In her address, delivered by the head of the Hungarian state in the UNSC for the first time in several decades, Novák said that Hungary welcomed the Ukrainian peace initiative and was open to join the process. The personal presence of Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, in the UN is also an indication that “the moment has come to be serious about peace”, she said. Novák said she counted on Zelensky “to take action and facilitate the restoration of rights of ethnic Hungarians in Ukraine” as he personally promised at their meeting in Kyiv before and also in New York.
Novák said the war in Ukraine directly threatened Hungary as a neighbouring country, pointing out that Hungarians were also fighting and dying on the battlefield. The war in Ukraine directly threatened the security architecture of Europe, she added.
Katalin Novak is the female equivalent of what in North America we call “an empty suit.” Pope Francis has not had any influence on Russia and will not have any influence. As Stalin once said of Pope Pius at the time “How many divisions does he have?” Vladimir Putin is an evil man who has his own Patriarch Kirill to bless his invasion and slaughter of Ukrainians. Novak is speaking empty words while waving the Fidesz peace flag which really is propaganda ploy to promote the Russian desire for Ukrainian surrender. Novak needs to get on a plane to Moscow and convince Putin to stop his war.
